I'm not concerned about the actual number he gave as the final score; if you look at his chart the highest rated Tesla was only 3 points better. He also talks about being on the fence with the handling score potentially deserving 1 point higher. I don't think it's as much about pleasing a fanbase as it is him simply being a tough judge.
As with everything, when there are lots of subjective variables it is hard to pick a "best". Each has its strengths and weaknesses, so trying to find an absolute best will always be based on how heavily each of those is weighted - which cannot be done objectively. What is more important IMHO is that the MME, Y, and 3 are extremely close - not just based on his review but the sum of all the reviews. That's not only a hell of an achievement for Ford's first "true" BEV, but a significant change in what was essentially Tesla's domain.
Credible competition is good for everyone.
